As you are heading home for summer holiday..

Browse Qatar Living and I found the top 10 souvenirs from Qatar...

1. The Quran - Available in an Arabic/English version and other languages

2. Locally made halawa also available in the souq area. OMANI halawa is also nice.

3. A dullah (traditional coffee pot with a set of small kahwa cups (for Arabic coffee).

4. A traditional incense burner with State of Qatar logo

5. Gold jewellery with a local & gulf designs

6. A sword used for ardha (Traditional sword dance performed at celebrations)

7. Good quality dates

8. An abaya with shayla and a thobe with igal and guttra (headgear)

9. A hardback coffee table book about Qatar

10. Gulf style 'Russian dolls"

Unfortunately, we are not going home for summer. We plan to go home at the end of the year. No urgency for us to shop around.
